English Program Requirements
Through the International English Centre, the University is able to comprehensively support the English language needs of all our international students. Some of the ways we can help you improve your English Language abilities are below, with courses running from September or January:
- International Foundation Certificate
The International Foundation Certificate is designed for students who have completed high school through a 12 year education system, or students who want to gain more academic and English language skills before starting their undergraduate degree. Students can choose either the standard 30-week course (starts in September or January), or an intensive 15-week course (starts in January only). Successfully completing the certificate will guarantee your progression to your chosen degree at Aberystwyth University; - Pre-Sessional English Courses
If you hold an offer from the University, these courses are designed to help you meet the entry requirements for your degree programme. Depending on your current English language ability, you can choose from a variety of courses that run over 42, 30, 12 or 6 weeks; - Pre-Masters Course
The Pre-Masters Course acts as a bridge between your undergraduate degree, in your home country, and preparing you for postgraduate study, in the UK, in a Business or Management-related programme. Courses run over a standard 30-weeks or intensive 15-weeks.

GBP 17,525 / yearHow to Apply
You will have already been told to do your research on the courses and universities that appeal to you. For some people the list can be long and for others quite limited.
Make sure that you save the course that you like using the heart button on the online UCAS course search. This will keep all your liked searches in one stored area.
We recommend that you start completing your profile around late June or beginning of July. This helps you to get the boring part of the application out of the way and it will be ready for you to start applying to universities. There are five sections that you will need to fill in which are:
- Personal information (eg school details, support needs etc.);
- Qualifications (you can add any subjects that you are working towards or have completed already);
- Work history (if you have any work experience or currently have a part-time job you can add it here);
- Personal statement (a chance to say a bit about yourself);
- Contact details (you can add your contact details eg mobile number and email and keep them up-to-date throughout the application process).
Remember, you must save these sections once you have completed them, otherwise the information that you have inputted will be lost and you will have to start again.
Download our unique guide for the UCAS application process and the personal statement.
This page might appear if you have answered certain questions from the above category. UCAS doesn’t organise your student finance, but if you need financial support at University (tuition fee loan, maintenance grant/ loan), you can give UCAS permission to share your information with the relevant student finance company. This helps speed up the process of applying and the awarding of your student finance.
The Personal statement is one of the most important elements of your UCAS application, so to get the best advice, read our dedicated page that will help you to nail the personal statement.
Furthermore, we offer fantastic departmental advice from all our subject tutors on how to go about completing your peronal statement specific to that subject area.
Listen to some of the top tips in our dedicated Personal Statement video hub.
You’re only allowed to make five applications to five universities. Your five choices could be to the same university for different courses, or to different institutions for the same course. Download our 'how-to' guide on selecting university courses.
Top tips:
- Make sure that it’s the right course for you!
- Ask yourself whether you can see yourself studying and living in the chosen University.
- Does the student life appeal to you? (Sports Clubs and Societies, town life, facilities).
- Do you like the accommodation?
- Does the University have a range of opportunities for you eg studying abroad, working in industry?
- Does your course have good graduate prospects?
It’s so important to check over what you have written and make sure that you’re applying to the right university for the correct course. It’s an easy mistake to put the wrong course code down or to mix up the University of your choice!
Your application will require a reference from either your teacher, adviser or a professional who knows you academically or professionally. Everybody who applies will require a reference, unless you get permission from your chosen university or college.
If you’re applying to just one university or college the fee will be £13.00. If you’re applying for multiple courses (up to 5) the fee is £24.00. All late applications (after June 30th) are subjected to a £24.00 fee.
